[HDGEM] Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fully-managed message queuing service for reliably communicating among distributed software components and microservices - at any scale.

SQS makes it simple and cost-effective to decouple and coordinate the components of a cloud application.

Using SQS, you can send, store, and receive messages between software components at any volume, without losing messages or requiring other services to be always available. SQS standard queues offer maximum throughput, best-effort ordering, and at-least-once delivery. SQS FIFO queues are designed to guarantee that messages are processed exactly once, in the exact order that they are sent, with limited throughput. You can get started with SQS in a matter of minutes using the AWS console or SDK of your choice and just three simple commands. SQS lets you eliminate the complexity and overhead associated with managing and operating dedicated messaging software and infrastructure.
